Network Effect A Murderbot

Allsium takes virtual reality to the ultimate level. It is not a social network, nor a massively multiplayer online video game, but an experience as real as life itself. In Allsium pain and pleasure feels as if it were real, so leaving the safety of virtual Earth is a price few are willing to pay. Those who do so will travel to the so-called illegal worlds, dangerous planets that pay homage to the golden age of video games and cinema, where they can obtain unimaginable powers: abilities that exceed human limits and magics that can be developed by choosing a path. However, the bravest adventurers must be very careful, as losing their lives in Allsium will make it impossible to access again, so they will no longer benefit from the system in a real world that is still recovering from the disasters of World War III. Gunner has formed a virtual group together with Greek, Dagon and Zen. After long and painstaking preparation, they decide to travel to the outlaw worlds of Allsium in search of the power offered by the trails. These can lead them to master incredible abilities and, incidentally, to take revenge on a society that has turned them into outcasts. But this will only be possible if they manage to take advantage of the Allsionist plan: the creation of a breach in the system that connects virtuality with reality. Evolution takes the final step. Welcome to Allsium.

Jack Snyder suffered a huge car accident. Time went by, and he heard a girl’s voice calling Nozomu Shinchaku. Jack slowly opened his eyes and an unknown girl was crying in front of him, but everything about her was wrong. Long blue hair, yellow eyes, cat ears instead of normal Human ears. Jack glanced at her hand and saw sharp and long fingernails caressing his face. A fluffy blue tail was trembling behind her, signalling her worries. Jack saw a pool of blood on the ground near a rock, and he had a big bandage on his head. Strangely, his soul travelled to a young boy’s body, that judging by the pool of blood, died because of that rock. Now, he has to learn how to live in a strange Magical World as the Human teenager Nozomu Shinchaku that strangely can’t use Magic, and Magic has no effect on him. “Definition of sidekick: - A sidekick is someone who goes with the main lead on their adventures. If he is a superhero, the sidekick helps fight crime. Sometimes this word signifies an imbalance of power, and it implies that the sidekick is less powerful than the main lead. - Sidekick is one of the most effective forms of attack in a street fight. Hard kicks especially to the knee can take a larger opponent down or at least blow out his balance, leaving him vulnerable to follow-up shots.” *I intend on keeping this story free till it's finished.* *cover by Aisling Elizabeth Robinson and me*

A mistake. A stain on the family name. *** Those were the labels Adrian Cross grew up with. His mother slipped into a coma the day he decided to leave it all behind. Though she had always placed his stepbrother above him, Adrian stayed for her. Enduring the elites’ humiliation and his father’s cruelty, Adrian gave up his secret identity to fulfil his filial duty. Then he was thrust into a bride selection deal, earning the elites’ uproar. Badly beaten, Adrian accidentally rescued a game company mogul who willed his company to him. Reeling from everything, Adrian raced to his mother’s side and found she was awake. His two years of effort reduced to scorn, Adrian’s resolve to finally cut ties with the Cross family was stronger than ever. His status-conscious family had no intention of letting that happen, though. They thought they had him right where they needed him, but Adrian levelled up the game. The Phantom is back. The Spider Network reactivated. As the elites scramble to know and recruit the same man they sneer at, everything they thought they controlled begin to unravel, and beside him, a phoenix stands to burn their world to ashes.

In the year 2147, Dr. Kael Riven has built the impossible — ChronoVail, a neural network designed to send consciousness through time. For years, he believed his research could save humanity from extinction. But on the night of the final test, everything collapses. Time freezes at 03:17 a.m. The lab shatters into fragments of looping seconds. Kael’s partner, Lira Mendez, lies dying beside the machine that was supposed to make them immortal. And in the security feed, Kael sees something no theory could explain — himself, standing behind the glass, watching. Trapped in a facility where the laws of physics no longer apply, Kael races to fix his experiment before reality collapses completely. But as he searches for answers, he uncovers a hidden file signed by his own name — from the future. The message is simple: “Don’t trust her.” When Lira begins to change — her pulse splitting in two, her voice flickering with something mechanical — Kael must face a terrifying truth: someone, or something, is rewriting time from the inside. Torn between saving the woman he loves and preventing the destruction of time itself, Kael is forced to confront the most dangerous enemy imaginable — himself. In a collapsing timeline where love and reality blur, every second becomes a choice… and every choice could end the world.

Evan Locke is the Sloane family’s biggest disappointment—at least, that’s what they believe. A scorned live-in son-in-law with no pedigree, no power, and supposedly no ambition, he’s treated as little more than an inconvenient shadow in their mansion. Only Lena Sloane, his principled and razor-sharp wife, ever bothered to look past the surface… though even she has no idea who she married. Because Evan isn’t just brilliant—he’s the secret founder of Obsidian Capital, a stealth empire feared in boardrooms and whispered about in back alleys. From the dark edges of the financial world, he’s been pulling strings to keep Sloane Dynamics alive while the family doubts him at every turn. When Marcus Thorne, the elegant and ruthless CEO of Talon Consortium, moves to swallow Lena’s company, and the Black Harbor Syndicate sends their silent executioner Rhea Kade to clear obstacles, the Sloanes brace for collapse. But Obsidian has already awakened. With Archer Voss—his unseen field operator—and a network of shadow investments, Evan begins a quiet war. Every trade, every acquisition, every broken enemy brings him closer to exposing the truth… The world thinks he’s irrelevant. He’s about to show them what a ghost king looks like.
